Interesting, when I took Waymo, it was cheaper than Uber and Lyft, pre tip.

Going off of SMCF, it really depends on how liquid you are and what country you're in.

If you're in the US, I have SoFi and 4.5%/APY on my savings account. Gotta have your direct deposit or move $5k monthly into the checking. If you can swing that, it's a great bank. I think Ally does similar.

Most major brick and mortar banks are shite for accruing interest money.

Whenever someone says that, my reply is "So is a fire. Go jump in one and let me know how it feels." 🤣

Highly disagree that Z-Wave is dead. There are many companies, especially Zooz, coming out with new products all the time. Yes, ZigBee is far cheaper but I've had the worst reliability issues with ZigBee and moved everything to Z-Wave. Zero issues with connectivity or batteries dying too fast.

But that's the beauty and strength of HA. Openess and selection.

Doesn't bring their trust worthiness into question but it is kind of annoying. I get the marketing blitz but tone it down a bit, yeah?

The iMessage lock-in is too real for some of us. I know some iPhone users who won't even install FB Messenger (I know, I don't use it either. Fuck the Zuck) because it's not Apple/iMessage. I finally got my family on Signal and "OMG! We can send videos and pictures now!" Yeah, been saying it for years lol.

Insomnia. You don't have to use an account. It's slightly annoying but the application works well.

That's one thing that's always confused me. Do we actually have the phone in our heads or is it just immersion? Cause NPCs are shown using phones like we have today.

Bro... That TV is over 7 years old, meant for health centers, and probably weighs 2 - 3 times the TV in OOP.

While yes, it is annoying, nothing modern has a center stand. https://www.google.com/search?q=tv%20with%20center%20stand

It's definitely a cost cutting feature and you definitely can't expect a $200 TV to have a weighted center stand these days.

Late to the party but this why I like Ventoy. It only looks for removable drives and then all you do is drag and drop your live images onto the removable drive. Pretty hard to mess anything up.

I mean, technically you could build it yourself and just use PS/X controllers. I know it's a lot more work than just buying it premade but at least you could fulfill your own dream in the meantime.
